Issues I ran into with BERT 2
Due to the following issues I had to revert to BERT 1:
-
My R script that backtests a financial trading algorithm, using data downloaded using FactSet's Excel-based interface, ran significantly slower with BERT 2 (something like 30-50% slower).
-
After running for some time, the script would frequently crash with an error message relating to the $get_Range() function. Might be some sort of race condition, not sure, didn't debug it and instead reverted to BERT 1 where the script works reliably.
